Tic Tac Toe on Rails

Well after months upon months of reading about ruby and rails I finally had to check it out. I started by converting an old content management site I had written in aspx, but soon realized I needed something new and different to work on and I really wanted to check out some ajax stuff using rails.

Tic tac toe seemed like a fun project to work on. It is very visual and can be implemented in a very simple manner or could be done in a much more complex manner. I have started with the most simple implementation of the game I could come up with but down the road I think it would be interesting to create a more complex version that may possibly run off a business rules engine like rools; well that is if I can find the time, I imagine this site won't change much in the near future.

Play some Tic-Tac-Toe
I need to apologize in advance if you thought you were going to get to play a challenging opponent. The application just uses a random algorithm to determine its moves, no attempt was made to try and make it a smart player. Ok, are you ready? You are X's and I am O's! Click here to play the standard Tic-Tac-Toe.

Download the source code for this site; nothing earth shattering here, but it is pretty amazing how little javascript was needed to create the ajax enabled UI. Click here for instructions on downloading the source code.
